Tropical Avocado-Pineapple Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass
Ingredients
1/2 ripe avocado (provides that creamy, velvet texture)
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (for sweetness and chill)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or Coconut milk (for extra creaminess)
1/2 cup coconut water (adjust for your preferred thickness)
1 tsp lime juice (to brighten the flavor and keep the green bright)
1 tsp honey or agave (optional, depending on pineapple sweetness)
Toppings (as seen in your photo)
Toasted coconut flakes
A fresh pineapple wedge
A squeeze of lime
Instructions
Scoop & Prep: Scoop the flesh of half an avocado into your blender.
Combine: Add the frozen pineapple, your choice of liquid (coconut water or milk), yogurt, and a squeeze of lime.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps of avocado left.
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If you want it colder, add a handful of ice and pulse.
Garnish: Pour into a tall glass. Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top and slide a pineapple wedge onto the rim just like in your picture.
Pro-Tip for Perfect Color
To keep that bright, “spring green” look, don’t skip the lime juice. The acidity prevents the avocado from oxidizing (turning brown), ensuring your drink stays as photogenic as the one in the photo!
